Another ridiculous post blaming a religious community worldwide based on the horrors committed by a relative few.

The sad irony is that the abuse of women is Pakistan is a serious problem but a post like this says more about your own biases than anything about the problem itself.

Not all that long ago some Hindu sects mandated the wife of a dead husband should also die on the funeral pyre. Should we write about that "zany Hindus" or perhaps "zany Catholics" because the church hierarchy turned a blind eye to child abuse for too long?

Broad slurs are a poor substitute for discussion.
